Over the yrs I have often wondered if
doctors who have said that I have BPD
are simply to lazy to look deeper I know
this may sound daft but I seriously think
there is more to this never ending circle
I fought for a very long time to get lithium
added to my diet of pills and when I did get
it I could not remember ever feeling so
wonderful however it appears I am allergic
to it it causes great discomfort to my bowel
So now I am back to feeling crap and I hate it
it shows in my relationships with other people
it shows in how I feel about me and all sorts of
other ways why do I get all the side effect
from these things I have had a lot of
adverse reactions to meds over the last 4 or 5 yrs
arghhhhhhhhhhhhh I just want that safe
happyish feeling I had with lithium.I make it sound like the be all and end all but for me they were a g*d send thats for sure.

Is there another med similar to lithium than maybe won't cause bowel discomfort?
